305 Stocker Block Question
I am looking for some advice on what direction to go regarding a block for my 305 Camaro. The bore is 3.800" and I'm currently using a 1980 305 block filled with HardBlok. Is this common?
How about sleeving down a 350 block? What sleeves would I use? Particularly brand and part number? Any other options? I'm not having any trouble, but I'm just wondering if there's better options. I will appreciate any help given. Thanks, Jeremy |

Re: 305 Stocker Block Question
You could use Melling thick wall diesel sleeves in a 010 350 block if you wanted to. If needed, I can probably get you a part number.

Re: 305 Stocker Block Question
I would say the filled 305 block would be quite a bit lighter than a sleeved 350 block, especially on that end. They will live, and plentiful as 350's. I only turn 7200 but my block is now 6yrs old, after filling.

Re: 305 Stocker Block Question
Thanks for the replies so far.
Trevor (or anyone else): Do you happen to know the weight of your sleeved block? Alan: If you really don't mind, could you provide a part number for a sleeve that would work in this situation. I can browse catalogs myself, but thought that someone with experience in doing this very thing could point me in the right direction. Thanks. I know I have to consider the extra water, but I thought that there was a possibility for weight savings with a sleeved block. Maybe not. Again, no problems with my filled 305 block with 2 years on it so far, just looking at other options. Jeremy |

I wasn't too worried , about the extra weight as it's in the right place, prolly about the same as a 305 with hardblok or an aftermarket block.
